Oh yeah, Revenge of the Nerds... how could I forget them... maybe because I haven't seen them in 4 years... they've never shown in TV, and you can't buy those movies anywhere

Nobody has mentioned Murder By Death, one of my all-time favs.

I also found The Gods Must Be Crazy side-splitting the first time I saw it, then I saw it again with a friend and it was… nothing. No repeat viewing value whatsoever. I had to pretend to laugh just to keep from spoiling the thing for my friend. Most puzzling. But everyone I know laughed themselves silly the first time around.

Although it didn't happen to me with that particular movie (which I still really found funny watching it again), I know the feeling perfectly.

"Le Placard" - don't know how it's called in English was the funniest movie in the last years, proabably none of you knows it. A man gets fired by a condom producing company and pretends to be gay, because condom producers can't get under suspicion to have him fired for being gay.

Did you see the film? Did you notice that R.Crumb is the least talented artist in the family, but the only one who could function enough to be successful?

Good stuff, and you are right about le Placard. Very funny. I also liked Ridicule and The Dinner Game (I've forgotten the French name).

How could I forget Ridicule - awesome movie. Don't know about the second, I'll have to find out and watch it I guess.
I also forgot to mention "The road to Wellville" with Anthony Hopkins and John Cusack about the "Wellness"-boom in the late 19th century.
Highly recomended

In a Gallic vein:

M. Hulot's Holiday

Playtime

Mon Oncle

Zazie dans le Metro

and

Dim Sum

A Great Wall

Eat a Bowl Of Tea

The Wedding Banquet

Eat Drink Man Woman

and

Grief

Victor Victoria

Hairspray!

Brother From Another Planet

Dark Star

Hollywood Shuffle

Mack Sennett and Keystone Cops Compilations

Passport to Pimlico

and Woody Allen's unintentional comedy- Interiors. Woody goes Bergman, angsting and groaning over the ineffectiveness of some New York would be intellectuals, and Geraldine Page gives an Oscar winning performance as an anally retentive controlling matriarch. I love how she gets irritated when she has to use two different types of duct tape when closing off a room in order to gas herself- it jars with her aesthetic sensibilities (she's an interior designer).

I just dropped the first funny movies that came into my head into the post. Of course, a proper list would take longer and more viewings, but that takes time.

I'm sorry to admit, but The Gods Must be Crazy did absolutley nothing for me. I cringed every time it tried to be funny. Maybe my mood at the time was to blame? Each to their own

There's a few mentioned that i haven't seen. I'll make an effort to do so

The Dinner Guest was a very funny French comedy.

Haiku Tunnel is amusing in the indy American vein.

I just saw "What's the Worst That Could Happen?" starring Danny DeVito and Eddie Murphy.

I laughed so hard I think about 2 drops of pee came out.
